Manchester United Loanee Pereira Enjoying Valencia Spell

Manchester United winger Andreas Pereira says that he is enjoying his loan spell at Valencia. The Belgium born Brazilian winger signed for the La Liga club for the 2017-18 campaign back in August, a decision which drew criticism from United boss Jose Mourinho.

But Pereira says he is thriving at high flying Valencia. Speaking to ESPN, Pereira said, “It's going well here. I had to adapt at the start because it's a different style of play to how I played at Granada [on loan last season] and also at United.

“We play a 4-4-2 system here, but it wasn't just the football. I'm at a new club with new people in a new city. The football adaptation is the quickest part because I was in La Liga last season. I already spoke Spanish, too.

“But I'm settled and playing well, like the team. I have a house close to the training ground and I'm friends with Gabriel, Neto and [Goncalo] Guedes, the Portuguese speakers. We play very good football with an explosive counter-attack.”
